How Often Should You Change Your Caravan Mattress?

A good night’s sleep is essential, whether you’re at home or on the road. But when was the last time you replaced your caravan or motorhome mattress? If you’re waking up feeling stiff, rolling into the centre of the bed, or suffering from allergies, it may be time for a replacement caravan mattress. Here’s everything you need to know about when to replace your mattress and how to choose the best option for you. 

5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Caravan Mattress 

1. You’re waking up feeling achy 

If you’re waking up sore, stiff, or feeling like you’ve had a bad night’s sleep, your caravan mattress may no longer be providing the support you need. Over time, caravan and motorhome mattresses soften, dip, and lose their ability to cushion your spine and pressure points effectively. This can lead to discomfort and poor sleep quality while travelling. If you’ve ruled out other factors and still find yourself waking up achy, your mattress might be the culprit. 

2. You and your partner are rolling together 

A caravan or motorhome mattress that has lost its shape can lead to the dreaded ‘roll-together’ effect. If you find yourself unintentionally rolling into the centre of the bed – or waking up due to your partner being restless – your motorhome mattress is no longer offering the right level of support and is not distributing weight effectively. A new, high-quality mattress will ensure both you and your partner enjoy a comfortable and restful night’s sleep while on your getaways. 

3. Your allergies are keeping you up 

Has bedtime become a sneezing, itching, or coughing nightmare? An old caravan mattress can be home to dust mites and allergens that may worsen respiratory issues or allergies. While you can clean your mattress (check out our guide) to ease symptoms, if this discomfort persists it could be time to upgrade to a new mattress.  

4. If you sleep better at home 

If you sleep better elsewhere, like in your bed at home, your caravan or motorhome mattress may no longer provide the support you need. Don’t just blame it on a different environment—upgrading to a high-quality mattress can transform your sleep and enhance your travel comfort. 

5. It just isn’t comfortable 

Perhaps the most important factor – if you no longer find your caravan mattress comfortable, then it’s time for a change. Sleep should be restful, relaxing, and enjoyable. If your mattress is lumpy, sagging, or just doesn’t feel great, there’s no reason to put up with it.  

How Long Does a Caravan Mattress Last? 

Most caravans, motorhomes, and campervans come with a standard foam mattress, which generally has a much shorter lifespan than a pocket sprung mattress. On average, a foam mattress will only last around three years before it begins to lose support and comfort. 

In contrast, our range of pocket sprung mattresses are built to a domestic standard, offering durability and comfort. We want to make sure you sleep easy year after year, which is why we offer a 5-year product guarantee.  

Choosing the Right Replacement Mattress for your Caravan or Motorhome 

When it’s time to replace your caravan mattress, you’ll want to choose one that provides long-lasting support, comfort, and durability. Here’s what to look for: 

• Pocket Sprung vs. Foam – Pocket sprung mattresses offer better support and a longer lifespan than standard foam mattresses. They adapt to your body shape and reduce pressure points, ensuring a comfortable sleep. 
• Custom Fit – Every caravan, motorhome, and campervan is different, and so are their beds. A custom-made mattress ensures a perfect fit for your space. 
• Quality Guarantee – Our range of handcrafted caravan mattresses come with a 5-year guarantee, so you can sleep soundly knowing your investment will last. 

If your caravan mattress is more than three years old, showing signs of wear, or simply isn’t as comfortable as it once was, it’s time to consider a replacement. A high-quality mattress can transform your sleep experience, making your travels more enjoyable and restful.
